Olympique Marseille and head coach Igor Tudor will go their separate ways at the end of the season.
Club president Pablo Longoria confirmed the departure on Thursday during a press conference. Accordingly, the coach himself is said to have asked for the release: “Olympique Marseille accepted and respected his coach’s decision not to continue the adventure next season,” said Longoria.
The Croatian was only installed as the successor to Jorge Sampaoli at the beginning of the season, his contract actually runs until June 2024.
Club determines desired coach
It is not yet known who will take over the reins of third-placed Ligue 1 in the future. According to information from “Foot Mercato”, Argentinian Marcelo Gallardo is very popular within the club, and he believes that his philosophy would suit Olympique well.
Gallardo ran River Plate for over eight years but resigned last December. The 44-time Argentinian national player was under contract with AS Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain during his active career, he spent the rest of his career almost exclusively at home.
